- Removable Drives with the Acorn Card (A540)
- ------------------------------------
-
- The SyQuest drives have some timing problems when
- being accessed by the Acorn SCSI card (release 2).
- To overcome this problem the 'disconnect' command
- must be inhibited for the SyQuest drive.
-
- This disc contains two utilities which will help you
- to do this:
-
- ScsiDM This is a pre-beta release of Acorn's
- ScsiDM program which provides a 'disconnect'
- command when a device has been selected.
-
- disconnect shows the current status
- disconnect on allows disconnection
- disconnect off inhibits disconnection
-
- disconnect This program will inhibit disconnection of
- a specified SCSI drive given its device ID.
-
- For example: *disconnect 1 will inhibit
- for SCSI device ID 1 (usually drive 5).
-
- This disc also contains a boot file which calls the
- disconnect utility for device ID 1. You can alter the
- !DeskStart file using !Edit to specify the required
- device ID.
-
- If you do not already have a boot file, alter the device
- ID as above, put the !Boot application onto your internal
- drive and then type:
-
- *SCSI <return>
- *Mount 4 <return>
- *Opt 4,2 <return>
- *Configure FileSystem scsi <return>
- *Configure SCSIFSDrive 4 <return>
-
- If you already have a boot file, copy the disconnect
- program into the !Boot directory and then add the
- following line to the start of your !DeskStart file:
-
- Run <Obey$Dir>.disconnect 1
